MY MISSING PIECE: AKat, these last 6 almost 7 weeks, have been pure HELL. I feel like a huge part of my heart has been missing since you’ve been gone. I want to say how sorry I am for my part in everything, if I could go back and change even just one thing, I’d do it in an instant. I hope you never forget exactly how much I love you. You make me feel whole. 12 years together isn’t enough, I want 100 more with you. I want to tell the world how much of an amazing woman you are. You have made so many changes and you help me change for the better, too. For me, you, and our son. I love you for always and ever. 381<3
THE BAD SEED, 7/19: Our full family (2 kids, 2 adults) contributed to this cheers for our server, Dave, at the Bad Seed. He seemed genuinely happy to help us and add to the conversation. He also brought out a fun kids’ book that our youngest said she remembered from school. He sparked a lively conversation about travel, asking about our experience and sharing his own aspirations. You are going to have such great experiences in your travels around the country because of your curiosity and adventurous spirit. Thank you for making a spontaneous night out so enjoyable and for being so kind.
FLOWERS: CHRISTMAS IN JULY: Cheers to the people who plant their entire yard in flowers instead of grass. Your hard work brightens my day. Its like spotting a house with really great Christmas lights in July when I see an entire yard filled with sunflowers as tall as a house (near CHAS Maple Street) or day lilies in every square inch (Queen Ave) or a rainbow of colors and species that transforms your little portion of the block into a scene from a Ghibli movie (Hawthorne). You inspire me…
